At the end of March, Ma Shilong, the prime minister's commander-in-chief, finally began to unify the command. This place was already close to the front line, and it was only a day's journey from Zunhua to Zunhua. Because of Liu Di's reputation, Liu Di's troops were regarded by Ma Shilong as the absolute main force and were stationed in Jizhou.

Simon.

Brother Liu was originally supposed to stand behind the town's commander-in-chief, but Qiu Fu, the commander-in-chief of Shandong Province, did not dare to come at all. He sent his generals along the way to collect thousands of people to deal with the errands, and then gathered and coerced the hungry people to make up the number. When they arrived near Beijing, there were about 1,000 men, women, and children.

Add to

A group of 20,000 people, falsely claiming to be 50,000, were defeated by the Mengba Banner in one day. Because this so-called army was too hydrated, Huang Taiji could not even calculate his military merit. After Liu Baiyu's victory, the commander-in-chief Qiu Fu had no choice but to send his cronies.

Sent to the capital to wait

The news never came. In order to avoid suspicion with Liu Baiyu in public, Liu Zeqing also stayed far away. As a result, he was the only one in Shandong. As a general, Liu Di's official position was also small, so he stood alone on the left

At the end of the side row, next to him was a majestic man, wearing a suit of iron armor, with no official uniform in sight. He looked fierce and coldly ignored everyone. Brother Liu looked at him a few times. He was very arrogant and did not even turn his head.

, Brother Liu was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Liu Baiyu originally wanted to join in the fun, but his official position was too high. He was the Minister of Rites and the Imperial Master. When he came, Ma Shilong didn't dare to sit down, let alone give orders.

Ma Shilong's voice sounded, with a carefree tone, "Now that all the generals are here, let me tell everyone first that there are still a lot of Tatar soldiers. The slave chief has left, but what about the Tatars?"

His brother was sent here, he is also a big Baylor, we Guan Ning brothers all know who this guy is, A Min, the killer with the blue flag."

There was a buzzing sound below, which some general soldiers had never heard before. They were asking the people around them. The big man next to Liu Baiyu snorted softly, and seemed not to be afraid of Amin at all.

The supervisor smiled and did not interrupt. Apparently he was used to the officer's swear words. Ma Shilong continued: "This killer has brought some more people here. The son of a bitch doesn't want to leave after a big defeat. He is not a soldier."

The truth is, I think Amin is also a loser, Santun

He didn't dare to move the camp layout under his eyes, but General Yang couldn't last long. The food had to be used up. The emperor was also asking about it every day. We soldiers who eat food should repay the emperor's favor at this time.

It’s time. How we fight, all the adults will tell you.”

When the supervisor heard Ma Shilong say "no birds", his smile suddenly turned into a bitter smile. However, I also know that these Qiu Batou talk like this, which is not the same as the civil servants criticizing Huai, so I can only smile bitterly.

No seizures.

"Premier Ma has been talking for a long time. Do you know how many Tatars there are? Let's hit them head-on. Guan Ning's army, no, other friendly troops can't come. If tens of thousands of Tatars are waiting, who will save us.

"

Liu Di took a look and saw that it was Wu Zimian, the commander-in-chief of Yansui. He was stationed next to Liu Baiyu. Liu Di, who had defeated the Manchu Qing Dynasty during this period, was a celebrity and a famous general. Liu Baiyu also deliberately made friends with these people, a group of officers.

They often get together to drink and gamble. Brother Liu gets half of the money he wins and a lot of money he loses. As a result, he has lost more than a thousand taels of silver in half a month. He is very popular with them and has a good reputation for being generous and generous.

After hearing this, Ma Shilong simply said: "I don't know. I'm afraid there are seven or eight thousand, maybe ten thousand. With reinforcements, traitor cannon fodder and so on, four or five thousand is not impossible..."

Afraid, maybe, maybe? In addition, Wu Zimian's head was spinning when he heard the numbers ranging from seven or eight thousand to forty or fifty thousand. How much was it? He stood up and said: "No one knows how much it is, so why bother?"

Damn it, I didn’t come here from Yansui to die. As I said last time, let Zu Dashou come to Santun Camp. He is not in a hurry in Liao Town. Why should I be in a hurry with my visiting army?"

Just punching the marshmallow, Ma Shilong smiled happily and was not angry. The supervisor beside him persuaded: "General Wu, there is no need to be anxious. Jiannu comes and goes.

According to the Mongolians in Duoyan, people come in and out of the border wall every day, and who knows exactly how many people who were plundered have become traitors? If you give a specific number, wouldn't it be cheating? The number of people is indeed unknown, but

Doesn't it mean we can't fight if we don't have enough numbers?"

Wu Zimian also felt that what he said was reasonable, so he was a bit arrogant. Instead of arguing with the supervisor, he gave Ma Shilong a hard look and sat down.

Then a few general soldiers asked about the soldiers' pay, food and grass in a weird way. Ma Shilong responded hahaha and perfunctory again. The atmosphere in the hall became even more dull. In the end, no one spoke, and Brother Liu didn't take it seriously. In fact, how much money could he have at most?

Thousands of people

, but also to be stationed in four cities for defense. The Ming Dynasty King Qin and Guan Ning's soldiers combined totaled more than 100,000. The best way to end it is to directly surround them on all sides. If this continues, Manchuria's morale and military strength will continue to recover and strengthen, but it is

There is a possibility of capsizing the ship.

Seeing that it was about to end on bad terms again, this kind of meeting called "military quarrel" has been held three times recently. Each time there were more people than the last time, and the amount of food and salary that the court wanted to receive was also more and more. This is what Ma Shilong asked everyone to say every time,

Then there is no conclusion to drag on.

At this time, a heroic officer with fair skin and thick eyebrows and big eyes stood out from the Guan Ning Army, which made Brother Liu jealous at a glance. Brother Liu had never seen it before, and he was probably a newcomer from Yutian. He said loudly: "

At this time, it’s still

Speaking of military pay, everyone has something to eat. If you beat the Tatars and steal their mother's money, you won't have military pay. If you stay here, money will fall from the sky. Marshal Ma, Shimen Post is still in my hands now. It has been separated for a long time.

Conquered by General Liu Di

Zunhua is only half a day away, and there are at most two to three thousand Tatars in Qian'an City. We have tens of thousands of people here who are afraid of him. As long as we march faster and bring red barbarian artillery to attack the city, they can stop them. The Tatars are full of tricks and can fight in the field.

Awesome, but attack

To defend the city, you have to fight for the number of people! Cut off the return route west of Xifengkou of Jiannu, and then join forces with Zu Taibao to attack Qian'an. Yongping Luanzhou will become a death place. Let's slowly deal with Amin.

I will be the vanguard of the entire army."

The general next to Brother Liu also said loudly: "The last general would like to be the vanguard together with General Cao Shen."

Ma Shilong praised: "General Cao, Zuo Dusi is extremely brave, this striker has done a great job. What do you think of General Cao's strategy?"

The general soldiers all tilted their heads to one side and muttered in a low voice. It was just that Guan Ning only owed military food and wages for two months, and he owed half a year or even a year. Only Wu Zimian said: "Both generals are courageous."

Extraordinary, but have you forgotten that when the four armies advanced and all four armies were defeated? In the first month of the year, Ma Shuai also went to attack Qian'an and Qian'an.

The walls of An city are high and thick, and Amin is a Manchu general. The war is fierce and tight. What if our army cannot send out troops to strengthen the city for a while? As the saying goes, the weak will be strong if divided, and if we want to see it, we should wait for the decision of the Lord Councilor.

For the grand plan, it's a good idea to gather all the troops in one place. Besides, it's not shameless to be a soldier and to ask for soldiers' pay. Why shouldn't you say it?"

There was another buzzing sound among the military attachés in the lobby. It was simply because the Tatars were so powerful. Since the old slaves started the army, more than ten general soldiers had died in Liaodong. This time, several more died during the invasion, and two were captured.

alive.

General Cao Shen refused to sell the account of the general soldier in the outer town, and said with some disdain: "When is this? Is it the time to ask for military pay? The emperor is looking forward to driving Jian Nu out of the prison day and night, and he can't sleep for more than two hours every day.

In an hour, how thin have all the good Nine-Five Emperors become? Jun, ministers, father and son! The emperor is worried about the city. Wu Junmen does not think about sharing the emperor's worries first, but only thinks about military pay. What is this? "

Wu Zimian stood up and pointed at the general and cursed: "Cao Wenzhao! I have tolerated you for a long time. Guan Ningjun is the eldest son of the eldest son of the imperial court. He is the first to give him food and salary, but I am a good man after all."

Chief Soldier of the Town, Zu Dashou comes personally and I will give it to you.

He has such a good face, but how can he allow you, a general, to offend him?" He then said righteously to the supervisor Hu Fuhongyi: "Master Hu, we and other guest troops have come thousands of miles away, and we Qiu Batou have no intention of doing anything for us.

What benefits can you gain by yourself?

It’s just to repay the emperor’s kindness, even if you die without a burial place, it doesn’t matter. It’s the duty of a military commander, but these soldiers don’t understand these principles. What is the purpose of being a soldier? It has to be money. We can’t just rely on a few generals.

Isn't it a war? To be honest

It doesn't matter if you don't have money, or if you have food that doesn't rot or spoil. I don't know or tell you about other places. Five or six people died in our military camp. Although they were not soldiers, they were all Han people and were raised by their parents.

How can I bear it!"

When Wu Zimian said this, he cried loudly. The other officers were also saddened by the death of a rabbit. Although these officers were not good men and women, they drank the blood of soldiers and received the pay of the air force. However, this situation is another matter.

, Firstly, diarrhea is likely to induce infectious diseases, and no one can guarantee whether you will die or not, regardless of your status as an infectious disease. Secondly, it may become a mutiny. With so many Ming troops gathered together, once a mutiny breaks out

Chain reactions are no joke.

Liu Di heard Liu Baiyu and Liu Baiyu often mentioned Cao Wenzhao, and couldn't help but look carefully at this master who killed the refugees. He was tall and handsome, with a handsome face. Cao Wenzhao was Liu Baiyu's attention.

Liu Di has heard many times recently that he was a general in the late Ming Dynasty. He was still a guerrilla last year. After Jiannu joined the invaders, he had no achievements. When Jiannu ran back to Yongping, Cao Wenzhao was stationed in the Yutian area.

In February and March, Jiannu tried to plunder Fengrun and Yutian. Cao Wenzhao and Jiannu fought twice in the snow near Luanzhou. They were both field battles. Although they did not win a big victory, they did not lose to Jiannu. They also killed dozens of people.

The leader forced Jiannu to withdraw to Luan

Zhou, maintained the stability of the Ming army's front line, and was one of the few people in Guanning's army who dared to fight with Jiannu in the field. Everyone in King Qin's army had heard of his reputation. Because of these two battles, he had just been promoted from guerrilla to general, and he also fought with

Brother Liu is also on the line of improvement.

Behind Wu Zimian, the general guerrillas of Yansui Town also stood up and shouted and scolded to cheer for their superiors. Cao Wenzhao stood tall and looked at the officers of Yansui Town coldly.

After listening to Wu Zimian's words, the other general soldiers present began to complain in response to Wu Zimian. The target of the complaints was changed to Hu Fuhong. There was a commotion in the hall. Ma Shilong sat in a high position, looking as peaceful as a Buddha statue in a play.

Cao Wenzhao finally came up with a battle proposal, but was thrown aside again. He sat down angrily, with a look of unwillingness on his face.

Hu Fuhong had nothing to think about the opinions of the generals, so he could only offer some words of comfort. Now everyone was asking for money. Although the Ministry of Revenue had received some, there was still no guarantee that all Qin Wang's troops would get the full amount. Okay.

It was easy to comfort him, and no one spoke anymore in the lobby.

Hu Fuhong saw Brother Liu in a daze at the end, and remembered that although this man was young, he relied on his sister to be valued by Liu Baiyu, and led an elite army to win a big victory. Although his true ability and reputation were probably far from each other,

But after all, he had killed many Tatars, so he hurriedly said: "Liu

General brother, you have made great contributions to the great victory of Zunhua. You killed Huang Taiji and ran away. You are quite good at killing slaves. I wonder if you have any insights?" The generals around turned to look over, some were envious, jealous and appreciative. Among them, they were appreciative.

Most of them won money from Brother Liu.

Liu Di took a step forward and said: "I'll listen to you, sir, and the military. All of you are veterans who have fought for the rest of their lives. How can I, a child, have no place to talk?"

Hu Fuhong hurriedly smiled and said: "General Liu Di, why do you have to be so modest? You don't have much experience in fighting, but you are the only one who defeated the Tatars in the field. General Liu Di, you don't have to..."

Hu Fuhong originally thought that Brother Liu relied on his sister's favor at a young age, so he should be a successful young man. And now that Brother Liu is less than seventeen years old, it is inevitable that he will get carried away when he is young and get carried away.

It was just that Hu Fuhong never imagined that Brother Liu was from the lowest level of servants, and his fighting ability might depend on others' praise, but his ability to observe people's emotions and intrigues was quite good, and this level of alienation tactics was far from enough.

"How has the official defeated Huang Taiji? It was just my brother-in-law who used a trick to drive a wedge between the Mongols and Manchuria. At that time, Huang Taiji's army was in a state of bombing the camp and was in chaos. If it were replaced by generals, the victory would be easier - in fact, the main thing

It's my brother-in-law's Pegasus, which really shocked the Mongols..."

Hu Fuhong looked depressed, and secretly cursed Leng Tou Qing in his heart for which pot he didn't open - Liu Baiyu's Pegasus [Sharma] had already rumored that Liu Baiyu's grandma was from the Golden Family, which was already Emperor Chongzhen's biggest concern.

——I don’t dare to mention it at all. Once it is mentioned, those censors who only care about reputation without caring about the overall situation will have to make a big fuss with Liu Baiyu. They really want to force Liu Baiyu to rebel. Emperor Chongzhen has no confidence to resist Liu Baiyu’s hundreds of thousands.
